Let us pause today……Let us be in constant prayer for Officer Kelly’s family and fellow Officers…..
Mark 10:45 is one of my favorite verses in God’s Word…..it is a calling on our lives for HIM, to serve HIS people….For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.
Officer Kelly served in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan and in Albuquerque as a Police Officer.
God Bless the memory of Servant John Kelly.
This is the news release FGGAM received from the Governor’s office……..
